Talk about Color Country... take a look at this landscape from Mars pictured in the foreground. In sharp contrast, the dense green pine forest along the rim is welcome shelter from the weathering elements. Striking vistas surround Brian Head Peak, as in this photo taken from the Virgin River Rim Trail (Photo credit: Scott Morris).

GPS Adventure Travel Tip
It is extremely dangerous to hold your GPS while flying down the trail from Brian Head Peak. I know you will be tempted to clock you max speed (!) so I recommend you use the proper mounting bracket.*
